Weird News: Medieval Codex Calixtinus Manuscript Vanishes
Tuesday, July 19, 2011
There are some books that are legally forbidden to bibliophiles, but that still doesn't stop some from trying. The recent theft of the Codex Calixtinus from a Spanish Cathedral is a fine example. Unlike one of Lovecraft's book thieving villains, who is after occult knowledge, profit is a more likely motive behind this crime. However, the disappearance of this archaic travel guide is still reminiscent of weird fiction's most chilling storylines involving captured books.
